In fact, Shandong cuisine has been to state banquets, but compared with other cuisines, it is rare, because it takes a lot of time and energy to cook Shandong cuisine, and the technical requirements for chefs are relatively high. Moreover, Shandong cuisine has a heavy taste, which is not in line with the tastes of foreigners, so it rarely appears at state banquets.

Shandong cuisine that has participated in the state banquet mainly includes Confucius Yipin Bazhen Cup, Confucius Liujiao Fish, Confucius Fairy Duck, and Confucius Sauce Roasted Beef Ribs. It takes eight hours to stew and two hours to debug a cup of dishes of Confucius' Eight Treasures, which takes 10 hours in total.
